While all types of gifts are greatly valued and count towards membership, gifts to the unrestricted fund, the Greater Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµÍøÕ¾ Fund, are a priority for Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµÍøÕ¾ Society members. These gifts account for more than three-fourths of the Greater Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµÍøÕ¾ Fund, which is used to support financial aid and scholarships, student and faculty research, and advancements in technology.

Today, membership in the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµÍøÕ¾ Society is more than 400 strong and includes alumnae/i, parents, faculty, staff and friends who are dedicated to ensuring that today’s students experience a full range of intellectual, athletic, artistic and internship opportunities.
